CSX...1320 times???

[Csx254]

Putting a stage 5 cal from cindy, 3 bar map, +40's, and I have 3" already on there with a 255 pump. Any idea's?? I'll probably just run it with street meat....yeah, yeah I know.

[unluckyty]

How much boost? I'd say 13.9-14.2 on street tires, slick=12.9

Good luck.

Cindy's stage 5 cal is 18psi. I wouldn't mind a 13.9!! That'd be sweet.

I just ran this past weekend and ran 13.4 @ 100 with a 1.8 60ft on slicks and 16psi. I hate the stage 5 from FWD and I am taking it out this week. Its a tuning nitemare and no matter what I have changed it still runs like blahh.

I am going back to the simple setup, big inj, fmu, and a stage 2 MP performance unit.

GOOD LUCK WITH THE STAGE 5, YOU MIGHT WANT TO THINK TWICE.

If 13.9 is your goal you can do it on stco electronics all day long.

...maybe someone should of contacted FWDP about their cal, and see what they can do to fix the problem instead of just bashing their products. cindy goes way further then most do to help fix a problem with her products

otherwise stock ? if so:

decent street tires, good driver and great launch = 14.2-14.4

let us know how you do !!

WHOA, Thats not what Im doing, Im just stating in reality if he is happy with a 13.9 pass he dont need the headaches of tring to tune the stage 5 cal

I rarely drive my car on the street as its too nice and it only sees the track on occassion. I have no complaints on the stage 5 and or FWD service, I have had some issues with the unit as many many many others on this board, ( do a search ) but what can you expect when you modify the factory programs.

I have a 10 second Buick Grand National and I burn my own chips and understand the binary codes on that car, I much rather use a stock or a MP stage 2 ecu in my dodge as chrysler actually sold these and GM never had an aftermarket stock ecu.

Do you have an adj fpr? Do you have any guages to see what's going on (ie EGT, O2 guage)? I'd be tentative running 18 psi on stock pistons without a good tune (broke too many cast pistons myself). Slapping stuff on and just running it, well you never know.

Stage 5 cal= super good, super safe! All you need is proper working electronics and AFPR to tune. Any other issues, I'm sure Cindy would work out for you. Put 2 cars right into the 11's "out of the box" Never had to send one back, yet, anyways.

[Csx254]

I don't have an AFPR, something I should look into getting? Never got one, cause I'm not sure how to tune with it. I have a short band AF gauge, but really nothing else. I'm not really concerned with this motor. I mean, I don't want it to go POW on the first 18psi pass, but if it does pop, its not a huge deal. I would rather it last a while, but whatever.

This is with stock turbo?

[Csx254]

yep, stock T2 garret

If you have forged pistons then you might want to try dialing in the A/F with an AFPR. If their stock pistons you'd prob be safer leaving the stock regulator and see how she runs. (prob be a little rich, but with stock pistons you don't want to fool around too much)
